====================
The huawei_cdc_ncm driver.

Enrico has been kind enough to let me repost his driver with the changes
requested by Oliver Neukum during the last review of this series.

The changes I have made from Enricos original v5 series to this version
are:

v6:
 - fix to avoid corrupting drvstate->pmcount
 - fix error return value from huawei_cdc_ncm_suspend()
 - drop redundant testing for subdriver->suspend during resume
 - broke a few lines to keep within the 80 columns recommendation
 - rebased on top of current net-next

Enrico's orginal introduction to the v5 series follows below.  It explains
the background much better than I can.

[quote Enrico Mioso]

So this is a new, revised, edition of the huawei_cdc_ncm.c driver, which
supports devices resembling the NCM standard, but using it also as a mean
to encapsulate other protocols, as is the case for the Huawei E3131 and
E3251 modem devices.
Some precisations are needed however - and I encourage discussion on this: and
that's why I'm sending this message with a broader CC.
Merging those patches might change:
- the way Modem Manager interacts with those devices
- some regressions might be possible if there are some unknown firmware
  variants around (Franko?)

First of all: I observed the behaviours of two devices.
Huawei E3131: this device doesn't accept NDIS setup requests unless they're
sent via the embedded AT channel exposed by this driver.
So actually we gain funcionality in this case!

The second case, is the Huawei E3251: which works with standard NCM driver,
still exposing an AT embedded channel. Whith this patch set applied, you gain
some funcionality, loosing the ability to catch standard NCM events for now.
The device will work in both ways with no problems, but this has to be
acknowledged and discussed. Might be we can develop this driver further to
change this, when more devices are tested.

We where thinking Huawei changed their interfaces on new devices - but probably
this driver only works around a nice firmware bug present in E3131, which
prevented the modem from being used in NDIS mode.

I think committing this is definitely wortth-while, since it will allow for
more Huawei devices to be used without serial connection. Some devices like the
E3251 also, reports some status information only via the embedded AT channel,
at least in my case.
Note: I'm not subscribed to any list except the Modem Manager's one, so please
CC me, thanks!!

      This driver supports devices using the NCM protocol as an encapsulation layer
for other protocols, like the E3131 Huawei 3G modem. This drivers approach was
heavily inspired by the qmi_wwan/cdc_mbim approach & code model.

      ipv6: remove old conditions on flow label sharing · b579035f
      Florent Fourcot authored 
      The code of flow label in Linux Kernel follows
the rules of RFC 1809 (an informational one) for
conditions on flow label sharing. There rules are
not in the last proposed standard for flow label
(RFC 6437), or in the previous one (RFC 3697).

Since this code does not follow any current or
old standard, we can remove it.

With this removal, the ipv6_opt_cmp function is
now a dead code and it can be removed too.

Changelog to v1:
 * add justification for the change
 * remove the condition on IPv6 options

[ Remove ipv6_hdr_cmp and it is now unused as well. -DaveM ]

====================
Please accept the following pull request intended for the 3.13 tree...

I had intended to pass most of these to you as much as two weeks ago.
Unfortunately, I failed to account for the effects of bad Internet
connections and my own fatique/laziness while traveling.  On the bright
side, at least these have been baking in linux-next for some time!

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"This time I have two fixes for P2P (which requires not using CCK rates)
and a workaround for APs with broken WMM information."

For the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:

"I have a few fixes for warnings/issues: one from Alex, fixing scan
timings, one from Emmanuel fixing a WARN_ON in the DVM driver, one from
Stanislaw removing a trigger-happy WARN_ON in the MVM driver and a
change from myself to try to recover when the device isn't processing
commands quickly."

And:

"For this round, I have a lot of changes:
 * power management improvements
 * BT coexistence improvements/updates
 * new device support
 * VHT support
 * IBSS support (though due to a small bug it requires new firmware)
 * various other fixes/improvements."

For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:

"More patches for 3.12, busy times for Bluetooth. More than a 100 commits since
the last pull. The bulk of work comes from Johan and Marcel, they are doing
fixes and improvements all over the Bluetooth subsystem, as the diffstat can
show."

For the ath10k and ath6kl bits, Kalle says:

"Bartosz added support to ath10k for our 10.x AP firmware branch, which
gives us AP specific features and fixes. We still support the main
firmware branch as well just like before, ath10k detects runtime what
firmware is used. Unfortunately the firmware interface in 10.x branch is
somewhat different so there was quite a lot of changes in ath10k for
this.

Michal and Sujith did some performance improvements in ath10k. Vladimir
fixed a compiler warning and Fengguang removed an extra semicolon."

For the NFC bits, Samuel says:

"It's a fairly big one, with the following highlights:

- NFC digital layer implementation: Most NFC chipsets implement the NFC
  digital layer in firmware, but others have more basic functionalities
  and expect the host to implement the digital layer. This layer sits
  below the NFC core.

- Sony's port100 support: This is "soft" NFC USB dongle that expects the
  digital layer to be implemented on the host. This is the first user of
  our NFC digital stack implementation.

- Secure element API: We now provide a netlink API for enabling,
  disabling and discovering NFC attached (embedded or UICC ones) secure
  elements. With some userspace help, this allows us to support NFC
  payments.
  Only the pn544 driver currently supports that API.

- NCI SPI fixes and improvements: In order to support NCI devices over
  SPI, we fixed and improved our NCI/SPI implementation. The currently
  most deployed NFC NCI chipset, Broadcom's bcm2079x, supports that mode
  and we're planning to use our NCI/SPI framework to implement a
  driver for it.

- pn533 fragmentation support in target mode: This was the only missing
  feature from our pn533 impementation. We now support fragmentation in
  both Tx and Rx modes, in target mode."

On top of all that, brcmfmac and rt2x00 both get the usual flurry
of updates.  A few other drivers get hit here or there as well.

      virtio-net: coalesce rx frags when possible during rx · ba275241
      Jason Wang authored 
      Commit 2613af0e (virtio_net: migrate mergeable
rx buffers to page frag allocators) try to increase the payload/truesize for
MTU-sized traffic. But this will introduce the extra overhead for GSO packets
received because of the frag list. This commit tries to reduce this issue by
coalesce the possible rx frags when possible during rx. Test result shows the
about 15% improvement on full size GSO packet receiving (and even better than
before commit 2613af0e).

      net: introduce skb_coalesce_rx_frag() · f8e617e1
      Jason Wang authored 
      Sometimes we need to coalesce the rx frags to avoid frag list. One example is
virtio-net driver which tries to use small frags for both MTU sized packet and
GSO packet. So this patch introduce skb_coalesce_rx_frag() to do this.

      net: codel: Avoid undefined behavior from signed overflow · 1ba3aab3
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored 
      As described in commit 5a581b36 (jiffies: Avoid undefined
behavior from signed overflow), according to the C standard
3.4.3p3, overflow of a signed integer results in undefined
behavior.

To fix this, do as the above commit, and do an unsigned
subtraction, and interpreting the result as a signed
two's-complement number.  This is based on the theory from
RFC 1982 and is nicely described in wikipedia here:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_number_arithmetic#General_Solution

A side-note, I have seen practical issues with the previous logic
when dealing with 16-bit, on a 64-bit machine (gcc version
4.4.5). This were 32-bit, which I have not observed issues with.

here's a pull request for net-next.

It includes a patch by Oliver Hartkopp et al. that adds documentation

patches by me that clean up the netlink handling code in the CAN core.
And another patch that removes a not needed function from the ti_hecc
driver.
